"There might be some misunderstanding about this, and it's hard to explain right now. But there's one thing: our family's properties are all interconnected, so we can't sell them. We hope you'll sign to relinquish your rights. We can discuss the money later." Seeing his uncle's grim expression, the young man quickly resolved the matter.

“Actually, I didn’t want to deal with these assets because when Zhou Xing gifted me the property last time, I was tricked by the lawyer and all of them were replaced with fake land deeds. It was my husband’s great-uncle who managed to get them back through a lawsuit. I’m afraid that things might get complicated if I wait any longer, so I thought of dealing with them. If you can ensure that these documents are safe, I can leave them untouched.” Qin Xiaoyu certainly wanted to preserve Zhou Xing’s assets, just to have something to remember him by.

"It's too late. My mother gave Zhou Xing the property only to him, not to some woman of dubious origin..."

"Shut up! Who are you! Talking nonsense in my house! I've put up with you for ages, you know? Let me tell you! Qin Xiaoyu is my daughter-in-law, my son's widow! What do you mean by 'unknown origin'!" Commander Zhou, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly stood up and smashed his teacup on the ground.

"A mere warrior, only capable of impulsiveness," Uncle Liu sneered.

“You are an elder, and what I’m about to say may be unpleasant to hear. What do you mean by ‘a mere warrior’? Without a warrior like me to protect our country, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have time to live a leisurely life. You should speak from your conscience.” A Lei couldn’t stand it anymore.

"I'm here today to get things sorted out. I'm not leaving until I sign this!" Uncle Liu was getting angry.

"Get out of here..." Commander Zhou was furious and lunged at Uncle Liu. His bodyguards quickly protected their master. Seeing that things were not going well, A Lei went to block them, afraid that Commander Zhou might get hurt.

Just then, the side door opened, and the lady appeared in the doorway, leaning on her cane.

"There are guests. Don't worry about me, I'll go through and watch TV..."

The wife had just come in; older people are often slow to notice things and didn't realize there was anything wrong with the house.

She took a few steps, squinted at her sixth uncle, and froze.

The unexpected arrival of this uninvited guest left everyone in the room frozen in place, completely at a loss.

Sixth Uncle was also agitated and sat up, but when his wife stared at him intently, he couldn't help but look back.

"Chengjun?" the lady suddenly cried out, threw down her cane, and rushed toward her sixth uncle, trembling.

"Sister Shan?" Uncle Liu recognized his wife, and the two embraced and burst into tears.

Everyone was stunned. What kind of move was this?

Judging from the situation, there was no point in continuing the fight. Qin Xiaoyu noticed that Commander Zhou had become too agitated and his face looked off, so she and Zhou Xing's mother quickly helped him upstairs, gave him some nitroglycerin, and made him lie down.

A Lei has already called Deng Jianyan over.

Deng Jianyan took his blood pressure and massaged his acupoints before nodding, and everyone knew he was alright.

When they went downstairs, the scene downstairs had changed drastically.

The wife and Uncle Liu sat hand in hand on the sofa, chatting animatedly.

"Little Fish, what's your name...?" The wife was a little confused.

"Call him Great-Grandpa." Sixth Uncle was quite obedient, arranging the generation himself.

"Yes, that's how it's said. This is my cousin's younger brother. When he was little, there was war, and his whole family moved away. He was sick at the time, and if we took him with us, we would have just abandoned him on the roadside. We left him to fend for himself. I couldn't bear to part with him, so I took care of him day and night, and he actually survived. I've kept him with me ever since. He was already fifteen when we took him back, saying he would come back to see me when he grew up. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the two moles on his eyebrows, I probably wouldn't have recognized him," the wife said, rambling on.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Uncle Liu had two moles between his eyebrows. It would be unusual for most people to have only one, but he had two, making him easy to recognize.

Qin Xiaoyu then understood that there really is such a thing as fate between people.

These two seemingly unrelated people are actually distant relatives. No wonder, everyone used to say my younger sister looked like Zhou Xing, but nobody knew why. Now it seems there's a blood relation involved; those beautiful features are all inherited from dominant genes.

With this connection, there was no need to sign anything or worry about the land deed, and Uncle Liu finally gave Zhou Xing's mother a friendly look.

“My older sister is just like my mother; an elder sister is like a mother. I’ve always worried about her, wondering where she is, whether she’s still alive, and if she has someone to take care of her. I never imagined you would fulfill my filial duty in her place; it’s fate. You can keep these properties and leave them to your son. If you need money for investment, just ask Uncle Liu.” Uncle Liu thanked Qin Xiaoyu repeatedly.

The family had dinner together and reconciled.

"You two should go back and visit sometime, stay for a few days," Uncle Liu said to Zhou Xing's mother.

"Okay, Uncle Liu. My husband isn't feeling well, but we'll wait until he gets better," Zhou Xing's mother said softly. Commander Zhou was still lying upstairs and hadn't come down.

“I just discussed it with my sister, and we're thinking of bringing her with me. I know you younger generations are very filial to her, but she's been married into the Tang family for so many years, and it's time for her to go back to her parents' home for a while. My elderly mother is still alive; she's ninety-seven and in good health. If she knew I'd found my sister, she would be overjoyed and definitely want to see her. So why don't you come with me? I won't have to come back to pick her up again.”

Qin Xiaoyu didn't speak; this matter depended on his wife's opinion.

After dinner, her wife gave her a wink and called her aside.

"What does your wife think?"

“I want to go with them. I haven’t been in contact with my family for years. Although the Tang family is a large family, they are all my flesh and blood, but I’m getting old and I always want to return to my roots. This isn’t my home.” The wife’s words made Qin Xiaoyu feel sad.

“If you want to go, go. Anyway, this is our home. If you want to come back, we can pick you up. Whether you come to Guangzhou with me or stay here with them, it’s up to you.”

"With your words, I can leave with peace of mind." The lady not only left herself, but also wanted to take Hanhan's grandfather with her. He was her only son now, and she was reluctant to part with him.

"That woman is unreliable, it's good that we've cut ties with her, it'll save us a lot of trouble." This effectively banished Grandma Hanhan from the Tang family.

The matter between the elders was resolved, and Qin Xiaoyu busied herself arranging guest rooms for her sixth uncle and the other two to stay in.

"Well, my father sent me to apologize." Accompanying Uncle Liu was his youngest son, who was two years younger than Qin Xiaoyu. So he was a bit rash in his actions, but he was still from a prominent family and had some manners.

"Uncle, it's all a misunderstanding, don't be so polite." Qin Xiaoyu could only admit it; he was younger, but he was of a higher generation.

"Little Fish, Father has now given me some free rein to manage some of the business, and there are still some things I need to learn from you. Father praised you for starting from scratch, saying it's quite remarkable." The uncle was quite modest.

"Uncle, you're too kind. Let's keep in touch." Qin Xiaoyu exchanged business cards with him. In just that short time, she felt a chill run down her spine. Without even looking, she knew that A Lei was lurking nearby.
